Ich halte diese Koralle seit 6 Monaten in meinem AQ, ehemals 60l, jetzt 200l. Wächst unter starker LED Beleuchtung (braucht viel Licht) sehr sehr schnell, bildet richtig große Wachstumsspitzen und färbt sich unter Blaulicht dezent grün. Eine tolle Koralle - wenn die WW stimmen! Nitrat: 5-10, Phosphat: 0,01-0,1, KH: 8.
